Sony is a multi-national corporation that makes billions in revenue each year. They could have easily paid the $90 million they owed to Immersion and avoided millions more in legal fees over the years. Besides, once you've spent years losing appeals, you should bite the bullet and not ditch a popular feature from a console that cost billions to develop...over $90 million.
How does the HDDVD "screw" anyone? It's a non-essential feature that will only matter to the incredibly tiny segment of the market that actually cares about high-def DVD.
